Being unashamedly Muslim while excelling in whatever you do is of the greatest forms of Dawah.

Talk to Allah in your own language with your heart fully present. Allah doesn't need you to rhyme or speak arabic.

Kind words cost you nothing but are sometimes worth more than a million dollars.

When you treat people well, those same people might not treat you the same way. But if you pay attention, you'll notice that Allah has sent OTHER people who treat you even better.

Sometimes you wish you never met certain people, then you grow and realize that they were a gift in disguise and contributed to making you the person you are.

Sometimes being let down my a human being is the direct cause for you finding your own strength & depending only on Allah.

Don't make your wedding a pleasant memory in this life but a source of misery in the next. Make it an eternally good memory. In trying to have a halal wedding, you might sacrifice many relationships but the opposite might mean sacrificing the only relationship that will matter in the hereafter for a bunch of people who don't even really care about you. Don't make one night the cause of your regret for an eternity.
